The Cords of Vanity

James Branch Cabell

4.9/5 (18241 ratings)

Description:James Branch Cabell's 'The Cords of Vanity: A Comedy of Shirking' emerges as a satirical foray into the intricacies of egoism and the elaborate facades constructed by its protagonist—a sustained exploration of themes that persistently drive human vanity. With a literary style characterized by incisive wit and a seemingly effortless elegance, the book situates itself within the tapestry of early 20th-century fiction that challenged the established social mores and embarked upon an introspection of the human condition. Its narrative is rich in allegory and symbol, and is imbued with Cabell's hallmark blend of fantasy and realism, serving as an emblematic testament to his time while circulating within the broader currents of American literary modernism. James Branch Cabell, an influential figure in the canon of American fantasists, carved out a particular niche with his emblematic use of irony and romance interwoven with a sharp critique of human folly. His oeuvre, which is said to have profoundly impacted the fantasy genre, reflects a lifetime of erudition and a fascination with the medieval period, traits that evidently feed into 'The Cords of Vanity.' The novel's conception is likely informed by Cabell's own ventures through a rapidly changing world and his observations of the perennial nature of human self-absorption. 'The Cords of Vanity' comes highly recommended for discerning readers with an appreciation for literary finesse and a penchant for scrutinizing human character. It is particularly suited for those who revel in the dissection of societal pretensions and the layered portrayal of moral ambivalence. In the reinvigorated form offered by DigiCat Publishing, Cabell's work appeals afresh to a modern audience keen on deciphering the literary voices that critically anticipated the complexities of contemporary self-identity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
